Last Friday We met an old citizen and farmer
-one OF Leon county's best men, and gen orally
successful planter. But he was not cheerfu al
as has been his custom The burden of his COM
plant was needed reform in farming opera
TONS
Upon inquiry he informed US that Is q rule
the land owner could not hire lsborers TO work
his lands, but must rent them, and on terms die
tated by the renter. which virtually deprives the
landlord of voice in the m amer of cultiva.
ton and other important matters connected with
the operations for the year.
To the inquiry, What is the remedy" he
said merchants shoul1 not mike advances to
renters The renting system mpoverishes the
land and keeps the renter poor. There is no
profit in the system to landlord or merchant
Past experience, he said, has demonstrated that
the land owner must conduct and direct the
farming operations on his land
Where farming operations are managed by
owners of the land there are better crops and
the land is kept up. II not improved each year,
it should be, by the use of fertilizers.
II is no credit to the land owner TO say that
the renter dictates the terms on which he will
take and use his land. Intelligence should rule
In this matter, and as intelligence is on the side
of the land owner, he is the party that must die
tate, direct and manage the farming operations
on his premises. He must not be manager in
name only, but must give close personal atten-
ton to all details 1t won't do IN, rely to give
ders. He must see that his orders are carried
out to the letter. When farming operations are
thus conducted in Leon county, lands will be
improved, yields increased and land owner and
labOrer will be better satisfied. The former will
make money and can afford to pay the latter
good wages Then the laborer will know jus,
what his income for the year is to be, and he can
act accordingly Then he will become cash
customer not a risk to be carried by The mer-
chant, failing four years out OF five to meet his
obligations, thus compelling the merchant to
carry him for a series of years-until the mer-
chant grows weary Of The burden and finally
closes the transaction by sale and loss
Ii is apparent TO the casual observer that a
change is needed in our farming operations, and
and ii appears to us that the change suggested
above would be good one to make, and a step to-
wards placing the business of county and city on
a cash basis.
